Anchorhead - Wikipedia share.google/vIR3UZVWoT30... The Stay Forever podcast did a playthrough series on it a few years ago. Very lovecraftian. If text based games are your thing, of course.

There are illustrations (the illustrator is called Nathalie Cohen btw) throughout the book, not on every page, but enough to make it interesting. Sorry, bad typo. 🫣 It's "Anchorhead". A text adventure you can get for free (plus there's an illustrated version on Steam I think).
